a did you have regarding joe, by imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. you so there's your boomerang with headlines, but this our few international. at least 4 civilians are killed and 10 injured. this is including children as ukrainian forces target, a fairy crossing area and the salt reach, and they told, according to local authorities, one survivor describes the attack. i'm sure of what i saw. the military was not there. it was a column of civilians, just people who wanted to evacuate from the city and go to a safer place. no agreement on any gas price cap. you leaders clash over the deepening energy crisis with germany and hungary, opposing and attend by the block to create

a unified policy. also in the program of protest, tons of deadly, the african country of chad, leaving at least 50 people dead and hundreds injured. piracy, a thought that police use lethal force against the crowds who are opposed to the front back government from f. b, i rate of vanishing act, suspicion grows over the disappear on the self and award winning american journalist who blew the lid on, alleged u. s. military cover ups with bringing you the angles to often ignored by the mainstream media. welcome to your news on how to get too much. so full people have been killed and at least 10 injured, including some kids when a fairy crossing point in the heart of san reach and came under fire over night by ukrainian forces. this is all according to local officials. authorities say 12 us supplied high mas rockets were fired at the area with a left,

one of them reportedly intercepted by russian at defense. a t of did confirm the night time attack, but says no civilians could have been hon because he was in place. grain also claims that could only fit russian soldiers dressed up as civilians. however, the statement is very much contested by at least one of the survivors. just just by nissan, i'm in the hospital right now and everything is fine. take a look at the chart. they took out of me, there was a missile strike by the ukrainian army on the town of ski bridge. we stood with a column of journalists and waited for the crossing. everyone could hear the air defense systems working and got rather used to it. i was sitting in the back seat and heard an explosion. i felt the glass falling on me and a colleague pulled me out of the car and covered me with his body. that saved me. he is also fine, but i'm sure of what i saw. the military was not there. it was

a column of civilians, just people who wanted to evacuate from the city and go to a safer place. it is. the waterway has been used to transport civilians from the city of her son as the nearby bridge impossible to ongoing shelling. the local authorities said the fairy crossing is continuing despite the violence. the plan in question intends to move around 60000 residents from the right bank of the river to the left. authorities announced the start of the process on wednesday thing. it will last about 6 days. but let's get more information on this right now. over to our correspondent ortiz roman, called her was the moment the local authorities have come up, a were the a number of people who were killed during this attack by the cranium military. at the moment. 4 people are dead ends at 13 people are wounded and they're being treated at a nearby hospitals at the moment. according to local authorities. ukraine fired at

least as well. of us made. hi mars multiple rocket systems. 11 of those have been intercepted, but so one of them had hit the target at this, they're very crossing local officials are also saying that this particular rocket was also filled with cloth for munition, in order to maximize the civilian casualties and to maximize damage as well. now key, if indeed had confirmed this strike however, they said that no civilians could have been killed or wounded in this act because it was a curfew hour. um, and they also said that those people who were killed could have been a russian soldiers dressed as civilians. well now would you have already a confirmation that indeed there were civilians that were killed among them is a russian tv producer. there are also people from the local press corps as well. local authorities are saying that said this particular point is all always

full of civilians at any given time of day or night. let's have a listen. radio boldness or knowledge medically changed to what the opposite side may claim. there couldn't be civilians as the curfews imposed, but everybody knows that after the bridge was damaged, the summer the people spend all night at this river crossing. moreover, while curfews imposed people are sleeping in their cars near the crossing, they are in the queue and they have no other option. this crossing is only for cars, so all the victims were sitting in the cars. of course, there are huge cues now as everybody wants to leave the city, fearing along with shillings terror attacks by ukraine and even possible flooding in case our whole sky a. hydro electric power plant is hit by guided missiles and is partly or completely destroyed. now this is not the 1st or unfortunately not the last time that ukraine is. that's are getting civilian population and we'll do it successfully as well. according to a russian military command, nato had been

a long demanding from the ukranian authorities to continue their offensive no matter the cost to whether it's a civilians or civilian infrastructure. we're just a bit earlier in the program here at r t. i was talking to a sociologist and human rights lawyer, martin dolt. so now he doesn't believe that ukraine had no information about the massive, ongoing evacuation process. if you look in the past, we are seeing that the government didn't respect your money in international law. the military and international law says clearly, but at the end of the civilian population, enjoy general protection from the dangerous post by acts of law in international conflict. and they may not be target of military attacks and in case of doubts, the person or group of persons could consider that as not to be attacked is the population remains a familiar population even if you do us the most of them who are not civilians. so

that you train hand side must have known that there is back to ation and they must have known that there has been billions. they start not general release short lock or a rocket effect. the rocket, which we where they are the same through in that region. because that was the risk of the thing, civilians and kipling civilians. so international you do to you monetary national law. this is a walk, right? if you, if you good, happy with us today. a summit of e, you leaders has failed to uphold that of a united front on the decision to impose a price cap on the russian gas, germany and hungary, both refusing to rush into an agreement that has no apparent official plan.

the commission's proposal on the gas price cap is like going to a bar and telling the bar tender you want to pay half price for your beer. not going to happen. customers can reduce energy prices, only diversification and competition. can the methods, the ear leaders who met well into the night last night, desperately want everyone but, you know, especially russian president vladimir putin to retain from this energy crisis meeting is that everyone is united. but anyone listening to what victor or von said there, for example, can tell that there's really no consensus among all of these members states and the idea of a price cap. that the you can dictate to the world how much they can charge for the e for energy is exactly the kind of arrogant, counterproductive ideological fantasy that while you'd expect from the block to the point where some of them like hungry and germany, are just not waiting around for his brain driving to fully ripened, but other than their unity propaganda. they already have no actual results to report from their meeting except to that they agreed keep working on it. according to european council president shot michelle e,

you council has reached an agreement on the energy you didn't see. and so there is a prevail agreed to work in measures to continue energy prices for households and businesses. sounds like you're celebrating the fact that they simply agreed to keep meeting, you know, we should all try that next time at work. yeah, that's what accomplishment european citizens are taking for pools here. pretty much are struggling under crushing inflation and energy bill and warm fuzzy feelings of european unity aren't going to power their heating or put food on their tables when they really need to do so today. not no week, non a few days or whenever out we can get around to working on this problem. next, unity is not going to power the german industry. that feels the you either, which is why germany isn't waiting around for a block like pollution, and had already decided to throw 200000000000 euros out the problem just to keep the country afloat, but french president emanuel. michael does not like how germany is handling its own

sovereign affair. i think our role is to do everything for there to be european unity and for germany to be part of this. this is how i see my function. in my role . i think that is not good for germany of europe to isolate itself. the sphere is that if countries go their own way and start doing whatever they want to deal with this crisis caused by brussels on policies, then risk completely deregulating the european common market. it's a bit late for that though brussels impose the sanctions against its own interests, demanded adherence, and unity of the member states, and then left them defend for themselves. while they figured out what to do about it. beyond yelling at people, how to dress and shower, to save energy or pay better yet, just don't use energy at all as european commission vice president front temperament now just saving energy, not using energy is the cheapest energy, obviously. and this is not just something that is discussed between

doing here i'm, i'm not trying to, to convince you because i don't need to. i know you, you agree with me, but it's something that i hear everywhere in europe now. yeah. not using energy certainly is the cheapest energy. so the bottom line here is that still really every country for itself and every citizens for himself or herself and paying the bills that are piling up. while the european leaders figure out when they can next it around the champagne and celebrate their unity. all right, with the friday stories are what asi international be. i'd like to protest over a deepening political crisis of the african country of chad. as we understand have left now at least 50 people dead, more than 300. also wounded is reported. this all happened after security forces use lethal force to break up crowns. i should warn you some of the following images you may find disturbing. the country has been under military rule since last year, and the president was killed while visiting troop protests of race since it was an

hour earlier this month that the army would remain in power for 2 more years. meanwhile, the country's former colonial power from condemned to violence, but denied any connection to the crisis, calling the situation, quote, child's internal affair. well, let's learn more about this right now. in cross live to our correspondent cut off all at half. le, who's joining us this friday? afternoon, greatly see you today. can you bring us up to speed? exactly what's been going on, what you know so far? well as you know, the following the deaths of former president who had been in the helm for 3 decades . and that's for my president edris the b who passed away on april the 22021. the country has been in perpetual turmoil with really being led by the military in the forefront. now these protest comes on the back of

an initially agreed deal that the country will transition towards a democratic rule and allow people to exercise their democratic right to choose their government and thursday, which is being yesterday the day of the protest. really month to the day when that transition was supposed to happen. but the new prime minister of chad must does select kept zabel, has decided that rather instead you would like to see an extension as to that date pushing the democratic this, this been the face and error to that, to 2024. now part of the problem in chair has been the fact that there hasn't really been stability in that country. it's surrounded by a lot of insurgency and extremist violence around that reason. but the country itself has always held strategic importance in terms of the western nations, especially with their footprint in africa. france has never really let go of its

former colony even after the independence in 1960. i mean, if you look back at the protest that were they in that country in may, you see that a people had really targeted the french authority, which they consider to be backing. any willing and military government that will serve of paris is benefits. and they, when there was protest back in may, we saw people are taking french linked businesses and now for france to come back really and say that this is an internal affairs issue for the, for the champion. people is really at best in, you know, this ingenious, if not, you know, completely culpable. france has always begged any military ruler in that country who serves the interests of catabolic catalog corresponded. baron joe burger is just about a quarter past 4 on friday afternoon. appreciate that. thanks very much. as

we understand these a 150 people, including women and children, have been killed in a 2 day period. and this and the latest ethnic classes in sudan is the deadliest outbreak of violence, of the north east african nation. now as we understand in several months, the crowds took to the streets in the state of lou nile that's about 500 kilometers, just south of cotton to the capital where the killings occurred. they condemned the long lost in conflict between rebel groups, mainly comprised of all the birth of people and the house of tribe. it's all over a land dispute. according to the head of a local hospital, roughly 86 people were injured during the classes and that a rally. and i went to report a gun fire adding that some buildings were just set up the lays during the protest . sporadic violence between the tribes has resulted in around 1200 people being displaced from the un regional analyst. a believe that un peacekeepers

have actually failed to ensure a quote on biased mediation for the conflicting side. it is a rational and impartial media and then i did mission mission. all they need to have a problem. instead of making mediation a settlement, they became part of the problem because it took the time off part of the alliance and they get closer to them. and they back and i have more bought out of the group that by the time they know, this is the whole unit and i live that need. now there is a fantasy photo mediator. this is a problem. now it is all to come to live from moscow. and emmy award winning

american john list renown for investigating national security issues is said to have disappeared off to the f b. i rated his home and report received classified information from his computer. let's pick up the story now without he's fidel is about. while the us most about freedom and democracy, both the trumping bite in administration have been widely criticized for targeting journalists and their sources. a recent, scantily covered story of a national security investigative producer who disappeared without a trace after f b. i. agents read at his home doesn't quite help pay the u. s. is reputation in a positive light, even though there's not many details available on the morning of april 26th, 2022. federal agents rated renowned ab senior producer james gordon meeks apartment in arlington, virginia. the raid came as a shock to some of his neighbors, one who described at least 10 heavily armed agents in mostly on marked vehicles.

they didn't stick around, they took off pretty quickly and headed west on columbia pike towards fairfax county. most people seeing that green vehicle would think it is some kind of tank, but i knew it was the lend co bearcat. that vehicle was designed to be jumped out of so they can do a raid and that kind of time it can return fire if they're being fired upon the f. b. i confirmed the raid adding that, although there's an ongoing investigation and nothing more could be sad, meeks has not been charged with a crime, but sources claim that federal agents allegedly found classified information on meet laptop just to make is unaware of what allegations anonymous sources are making about his possession of classified documents. as such, documents exist as claimed. this would be within the scope of miss to make a long career as an investigative journalist covering government wrong doing press inquiries on this issue. troubling for different reasons. they appear to be based on statements from a source inside. the government is highly inappropriate and illegal for individuals

in the government to lease information about an ongoing investigation. adding feel to the fire is mix last tweet on april 27th agreeing with an x. the i analyst about how the u. s. is using the war in ukraine to learn russian fighting tactics and have been doing so since 2014. the story gets weirder as meek, seems to have disappeared, at least according to his colleagues. he fell off the face of the f and people asked, but no one you down, sir. he resigned very abruptly and hasn't worked for us for months. and even weirder as meeks latest project was the claimed hulu documentary, $3212.00 on redacted, exposing how the pentagon covered up the conditions that led to the deaths of for you, a special force as a niger in 2017, during a battle with isis ah, we asked, why did the 4 men lose the alive?

no one with division and we're, we're really started cooking something didn't add up. interestingly, brian epstein the other producer who worked on that project also swiftly, left a be see earlier this year before his disappearance meet, gave an interview and spoke extensively on the dangers and injustice of the cover up. we need to have accountability, we need to have accountability long the leadership leaders must hold themselves accountable. and that did not happen here. the leaders, the men who sent these young guys in a battle on a patrol that resulted in one of the most fearsome battles of memory in a country were, most americans had no idea. we had combat church they, they basically disappeared. not only didn't stand by their men, they did not hold themselves accountable, and somehow they were not punish, most notably months before meeks vanished, he was finishing work on a book for simon and schuster titled, operation pineapple expressed the incredible story of

a group of americans who undertook one last mission and honored a promise in afghanistan, he co wrote the book with lieutenant colonel scott man, a retired greenberry, but after april 27th, all traces of his, his association to the book were deleted, simon and schuster his rubs his name from all press materials the 1st sentence of the jacket previously read. in april a, b. c. news correspondent james gordon. meek. got an urgent call from a special forces operator serving overseas. now it says in april, an urgent call was placed from a special forces operator serving overseas. so where is james make and why exactly did the f b i rayed his apartment? we don't know for sure, but what this case might do is set a scary president for us journalists who cover the national security apparatus. the united states has warned the palestinian nationalist group hamas. that string thing is,

ties with syria's government will only watson as ties with washington. it's on regimes outreach to this terrorist organization only reinforces for us it's isolation. it harms the interests of a palestinian people in an undercuts global efforts to counter terrorism on in the region and beyond. will continue rejecting any support to rehabilitate the assad regime a particularly from designated terrorist organizations. like amongst all adversely, a serious president, bashar al assad has welcomed the reconciliation of relations with the hamas movement following a decade long absence declaring that a sign of the future of the middle east. huh. also emphasized that it believed the move is a big step of the right direction. this is a glorious and important day in which we come back to our dear syria to resume joint work. we are restoring our relations with syria, with the consensus of our leadership. this is a new start for joint palestinian syrian action cooperation between the 2 ground to

hold in 2012. that was due to the palestinian militant movements discontent with syrian government policy on the eve of what the mainstream media called a civil war in the country. from 999 hammers had used a mascot at its headquarters of all of its overseas relations. now the new round of cooperation does come. it's similar moves happening between other middle eastern states, often fairly long pause is an example of that. the gyptian precedent recently paid a 2 day visit to katara after a 4 year rift between cairo and doha, mocking what he labeled a new era in relations. iran is continuing talks with saudi arabia, with a view to resuming diplomatic ties and reopening embassies clothes since 2016 and ankara has attempted to reconnect with egypt, recognizing the need to reset and improve their bilateral ties. well, we discussed all this with our regional expert mustafah. now he says countries are creating new alliances outside the traditional us sphere of influence

america. most of the time it's flying to more debate. any dispute not to settle a dispute? because according to the multi ration, i can play on the 2 parties, but not to make them stomach and having like a joint agreement or settlement to give them women to be, i guess, each other and to put you know, menaces and the doubts, fifteenish other and this is exactly what the market is doing because like the devil trying to put like a sedition between 2 neighbors, lovers, friends, just to get the benefit with the maximum. i'm just to heave the supremacy and the unilateral system, there are a lot of good political intentions from the other part of the world, which ones are and reach and suffered from the unilateral or to the settlement

will be more beneficial and will be adventurous on the the, the, the, the, into those, especially the united states and i was like, so i shifting gears here for my mentors, donati, let's turn our attention now to the ongoing national congress of the chinese communist party, which is ultimately outlining the country strategy for the next 5 years and well beyond ah, so alongside barriers, domestic and foreign policy objectives, the congress which does wrap up this weekend, is soon expected to reveal the members of the country to leadership committee that of the politburo. we spoke earlier with a c, g t n correspondent, tom shay, who explain the significance of the decision. earlier in the day, the 3rd group meeting of the proceed him of the 20th c, p. c. national congress just has just concluded which listed the candidates for the

20th c, p. c. central committee and the central committee on discipline inspections. were these are very us significant groupings. because when you know, when the c, p. c, national congress is not in session. the c p c central committee will make the decisions general secretary of the central come media shooting being he used to serve as the deputy secretary of a county party committee and party chief in the city, opening dealer in south than fujen province. and the secretary of shanghai municipal party committee, and he, his decades of experiences, he had a governor over 100000000 people that could equivalent to some small european countries. so yeah, this pretty much on the reps of the whole congress and others hindrance in person. now including ministers from different organs will also be gradually announced until next to march. or that's just about it just for now here on our team to national from moscow. thank you very much for sharing a time with us here in the russian capital. lot of big,

heavy hitting headlines still to come when we return. that will be at the top of the the, the in ah, ah, we raise corn and soybeans here. and so some issues that are different this year than in years past is that with all the things on the world, the day are input costs have almost doubled me, going to be really hard for everybody to keep going. time will make us our more and our current, the lame duck president is blaming russia for that year. gas company is, are going the plane for the problem, but they are not the problem. so by really chance blame for causing the problem

because he himself caused the problem in but the prices are already gone up. fertilizer and chemicals have dramatically risen. what we need to do is make the united states needs a news start and real war, or we can, we can drill for oil. and for some reason our government thinks that we should be using our own oil, which is crazy. me. oh, nice a russian state never. i've gone in san diego again. oh, maybe could been assist baffled the speedo keys on that is to bargain speaking with little fan in the

european union, the kremlin media machine, the state aunt, rush up to date and school r t spoke neck. given our video agency, roughly all band to on youtube and pinterest and with a cliff with ah ah, ah hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered?

i am peter lavelle as winter approaches. some cold realities are setting in the west, sanctioned more against russia, has failed. it is the west that is feeling the economic pain and ukraine's energy infrastructure is slowly being degraded. common sense would dictate a major rethink for these people in power. that is inconceivable. ah, cross sucking ukraine. i'm joined by my guess, matthew aaronton month, a month for y'all. he is a senior fellow at the american university of moscow and director of the rising tide foundation of canada. and when we have anthony webber, he is an independent, political commentator. and in los angeles we cross supply in. he is a strategic planning consultant, a private equity advisor, and an independent economic analyst, or a gentleman crossing roles in effect. that means you can jump anytime you want, and i always appreciate plan. i'm going to go to you person los angeles because you got up earliest for this program and it's much appreciated by all of us here. i.
